Frank Farricker is the President of Lockwood and Mead Real Estate based out of Greenwich, Connecticut, a company that specializes in complex turnaround strategies for affordable multifamily residential projects. Frank earned a degree in East Asian Studies from The George Washington University in 1986. He returned to school to complete a Master’s degree in Real Estate Development from Columbia University in 1999. His real estate career began in New York City in the early 2000s, where he started by building affordable apartments and housing. Frank then moved on to overseeing the renovations of historic buildings throughout Brooklyn and Queens.
In 2008, Frank moved to Greenwich, Connecticut, where he founded the Lockwood and Mead Real Estate marketing firm. He created the company to focus on what he calls “special situation real estate.” Lockwood and Mead has a significant presence in the affordable housing and low income housing tax credit market in Northeast and Southern Connecticut, as well as some parts of New York. The company works hard to de-stigmatize affordable housing in areas that are opposed to its development, and is involved with around 2500 housing units in the last two years alone.
Both in the course of his work and outside of it, Frank Farricker focuses heavily on community outreach. He contributes to the Mary Fund, a nonprofit focused on providing care for the terminally ill and their families. He has also served on the board of CTE, a nonprofit group focused on community development and organization in Stamford, Connecticut, that is responsible for creating housing and job opportunities for low income residents in the area.
